TikTok is welcoming applications for new members for the TikTok Youth Council for 2025/26.
We are looking for young people aged 14-19 who are passionate youth advocates and TikTok users, who would like the opportunity to become a Youth Council member – working with other young people from around the world to advise and inform TikTok policy and product teams.
This opportunity is open to young people who can commit to a series of virtual meetings between December 2025 and October 2026. There will be ongoing collaboration between council members outside of scheduled meetings as well as additional reading to complete in preparation for meetings.
All applicants must have a good understanding of English and be able to converse in English for the purpose of the meetings. Applicants must also be at least 14 at the start of the council and no older than 19 by the end of September 2026.
We are seeking teens who can work constructively with other young people from a range of different backgrounds and global regions. We are looking for those who have a willingness and appetite to learn and share and who can dig deep into a topic or issue that affects teens online. Potential applicants need to be able to listen openly and respectfully to different viewpoints and feel comfortable discussing ideas and sharing opinions in a safe space.
This is an amazing opportunity to have your voice heard by TikTok and to help influence TikTok policies and products, to better support young people on the platform.
We will work to ensure that the TikTok Youth Council is an inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment where all individuals feel valued and respected.
The TikTok Youth Council is being led by Praesidio Safeguarding on behalf of TikTok.
